Creative Summer Salads

Caprese Salad Skewers
Ingredients:

* � 1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes
* � 1 bunch basil leaves (need a leaf for every piece)
* � 8 oz tub of bocconcini (little mozzarella balls)
* � extra virgin olive oil
* � balsamic glaze
* � skewers to assemble the caprese
* � coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Method:

� Skewer a tomato, followed by a folded basil leaf, then a bocconcini ball... repeat if desired.

� Place each skewer in stand (I use foam to secure each stick - hide it in a cute container!) or arranged on a platter.

� Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper.
==============================
Parmesan Cheese Cups
Ingredients:

Method:

� Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

� Spoon level mounds of freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese and spread mounds into approximately 3 inch circles in an even thickness with your fingers. (*If you make them too thick they will be chewy rather than crispy, and if you brown them too much they will taste bitter. Aim for batches of 6 to 8 per baking sheet so they will be easy to work with while still warm.)

� Bake about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and any bubbles that form turn into a light golden crust. They should be golden in color and lacy in appearance.

� Remove from oven and allow crisps to cool slightly (1-2 minutes).

� Gently transfer the crisps to a muffin tin.

� Place a small drinking glass on top of each one to mold it into the shape of each muffin cup. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes.

� Transfer to paper towels to "degrease" slightly. Fill with your favorite Caesar salad recipe. Top each salad with a cherry tomato.
==============================

* � Cut the top off of each tomato at an angle and hollow them out.
* � Mix the poppy seed dressing into the canned chicken.
* � Fill each tomato with the poppy seed chicken mixture and top with the tomato top!

Method:

"Take out" Chinese Chicken Salad with chopsticks
Ingredients:

Method:
